Last week, my lovely bunch of friends organized a baby shower for me. I decided to whip out something in return -- So i made this simple recipe, given by my mom over the phone. She calls it Grandma's cheese cake recipe.

The recipe is really simple.

Just follow the steps on the pictures and description below :

Ingredient :

Part A

1 block of Philadelphia Cheese (room temperature)

1/3 bar butter (room temperature)

1/3 small tin condense milk

1/3 cup milk

Part B

1 pack of marie biscuit

Method :

1. Mix all ingredient (Part A) together in thermomix jug. (speed 2-3 for 3 minutes -- the mixture should be smooth)

2. Layer marie biscuit and the cheese mixture layer by layer, until cheese mixture is finish. You can put the cheese mixture in a plastic bag and make a hole to pump it layer by layer. this would result in more even layers of cheese and biscuits.

3. Set a side for 30 minutes.

4. Knock the container containing the layers a few times to let the cheese absorb and sink in to the biscuit. Before refrigerate, sprinkler some chocolate powder / cereal as toppings.
